I was at the LBS and the discussion came 'round to Merlins. I ride a '92 Merlin Road. The LBS guys said, "We have a Merlin mountain bike, a brand new '94. It's in the basement". When it came through the door, I had to have it. A brand new '94 MTB, 1 1/8 head tube, '97 XTR group, Manitou Mars Elite fork, Specialized CrossMax wheels with bladed spokes. The bike had been in the basement for almost 18 years. It's completely brand new, never ridden, never outside. The rims have never seen a brake pad, other than touching on the shop floor years ago.

Sweet. It's lovely, but that bike should be ridden hard, then put away wearing some proper '94 era kit. The M900/910 stuff was just finished so nice. As well as it works, the finish on the 950 and later stuff was a cop-out.
